This is so sweet 🥺

My grandfather passed last spring, but I can see him tending to his yard on google earth anytime

I have one of those Blink Home cameras, and you can capture a shot of what’s going on in your home and set that as the image for that room. My husband’s mother tragically died in a car accident earlier this year, along with her sister and her mother. I still have the image set of my husband’s mother and her sister sitting in front of my fireplace in my den. I don’t have the heart to replace the image on the blink home camera. They are forever sitting there in front of my fireplace…. I feel ya.

My grandparents’ cars are still in the driveway. I’m so glad it hasn’t been updated in years. Took many screenshots but still.. man

I couldn’t love this more.

You got me beat. The best I have is my mother in law checking the mailbox.

I’m already too emotional

And she’s just sitting there patiently waiting for you to come home.

I lost both of my maternal grandparents to covid in December 2020, just before the vaccines became available. One day, I was killing time on Google maps and figured I’d go see their house and switched it to street view. Lo and behold, gramps had his garage door open that late summer day. Their Buick was parked in there, I could see his drink fridge in the back right corner of the garage, which he always kept stocked with soda. I could also see the ambient light softly reflecting off the many framed certificates and awards he had received from working with local Scout troops, hung on the back wall over his work bench, and the door that led to their backyard open (screen closed) but still being able to see just a bit of the verdant gardens he maintained in the backyard for grandma to enjoy, either from their pergola shaded back patio, or their enclosed sun room if the weather was cooler.

Google satellite view now shows that backyard as a desolate dirt pit with a rickety shed or something in the center of that backyard. I really miss them both…

not somewhere

That is sooo cutee<33

Awww!

same as my dog

😭😭🥺🥺

Don’t they periodically update the street view images?

This reminds me of Cloud Cuckoo Land.

I waited for you, Fry.

Wow. That’s so powerful.

I wish I could of given my kid something this beautiful

I love this so much. My step father was a truck driver. And though he passed away rather suddenly years ago his big old mack truck is still sitting outside on google earth. Sometimes I pull it up and just smile because he’s still here with us in some odd way.

Hey Rainbolt, do your thing!
